Before the game

Wasn't it great to hear them announced as the 2007 American League champions? Wasn't that Fox "whoosh" after each player's name superfluous and annoying? Wouldn't it have been cool to actually see Yaz throw out the first pitch instead of roughly 287 promos for Fox shows?

Three in a row

By the way, has anyone else seen that commercial for... some sort of medication, called "YAZ"? What marketing genius came up with that? And how does Mr. Yastrzemski feel about being linked with birth control?

"Grew up playing street hockey in Canada"

And he's playing for a team named after a '70s hockey team.

Beckett mows 'em down in the top of the first. I love that guy.

Is there a Groundskeeper's Prayer?

If so, it might be fun to superimpose it on a background of praying hands with raindrops on them and some sort of Red Sox logo.

Bonus points if you can work in an American Flag.

To be kept by the TV, of course!

Heh.

What's with those uniforms?

They're like Tampa Bay's, with those weird sleeveless top tunic things. Yuck.

Watching Youk run

By adamg
Wed, 10/24/2007 - 9:25pm

It's like watching a steam engine building up speed - get out of his way, now!

I gots only one thing to say

By amusings_toolaz...
Wed, 10/24/2007 - 9:54pm

YOUUUUUUUUUUUK!!!!
gotta love me some youk.

My husband and I haven't watched a lot of baseball together this year. I normally listen on the radio instead (the ONLY thing WRKO has going for it, in my opinion, but i digress)...

anyway -- we've decided that we're DONE with four pitches for an intentional walk. It is a time killer, it is stupid, we're over it. We get it. Unless the batter is going to step over the plate and launch that mofo into orbit, much to the shock and surprise of EVERY human on earth... there is no need to waste my damn time.

Some sort of international symbol to the ump needs to be instated.

OK, maybe now you're right.

And maybe we could lend them a pitcher?

I'm waiting for the 5th inning to end so I can run down the block to the laundromat before it closes!

10-1. I may have to take a 'wardrobe day' tomorrow.

"Mercy!"

In this context, can we apply the standard little
league Mercy rules?

'Mercy' was Ned Martin.

Can You Believe It?

I like Joe Castiglione, but he's got to pull back on his favorite catch phrase. The way he's going, we'll start hearing it when he orders a hot dog.

"And I got extra mustard! Can you believe it?"

"Francona should put Cassel in to pitch, and if he gives up a run, pull him and put Beckett back in." -- a Fark comment

I like how Joe Buck just said the Sox are "up by a dozen." When you're down by so many points that the number has a name, it's a bad night.

So much for any hope that

we wouldn't see any more ads with that bed-head moron.

Okay

By Jonelle

They have officially devoted way too much air time to the possibility of America winning a free taco.

Then again, maybe Joe Buck is using it to try and inject drama into the game.

True confession

By adamg
Wed, 10/24/2007 - 11:24pm

I've been upstairs for an hour on the exercise bike, listening to the game on RKO, um, EEI. Castiglione and Geffner are just so superior.

If it happens...
is there some way to arrange for someone else to have my taco?

I've eaten at a Taco Bell twice in my life, and both times there was a long black piece of hair in my food.

That taco bell conversation

By Lis Riba

was just surreal.

Anybody know where I can find a video clip and/or transcript to show my husband, who wasn't watching the game at that time?
